I have been so sick this entire month of Dec. that I got very little crocheting done but I did manage to get this baby blanket finished. I used Pound of Love yarn and a H hook. The pattern was purchased from The Baby Crow.

I just finished the baby blanket this morning. I really like this pattern and how it turned out. I guess I didn't mind all the sewing involved as it went pretty fast. I used Pound of Love yarn and a H hook.

I found this color yarn that I had not seen before. It is Bernat Baby Sport yarn called Coral Crocus. I bought two skeins and and decided to to a ripple baby blanket. I used a g hook. I love this coral color.

I first crocheted the cuddle sack with matching hat and wondered what to do with the left-over yarn. I decided to add white and make a granny square. I had to made several rows all white but just had enough of the corlored yarn to do the trim. This was some yarn I got at AC Moore. Not sure of the brand.

Frank and I worked on this afghan together. It was done by request for a friend of grandson Erick. We started it together then I had hand surgery so Frank finished the body then yesterday I finished up by trimming 2 rounds in red. It is pictured on our king size bed.

I have been working on booties this past week. These will be sent to God's Tiny Angels. I have to take it easy on crocheting for awhile as my "trigger finger" is acting up and my thumb on the same hand is popping now. Another trip to the doctor.

We have donated 100 blankets, cuddle sack sets, diaper sets, booties and hats to two of our local hospitals. The nurses were thrilled with our donations taking everything out and looking at everything. One nurse had picked a diaper set to give to a new mother and baby right away. We left with a good warm feeling that we are helping babies to keep warm and well dressed.

Frank and I have been trying to use up our scrap yarn and we crocheted these two afghans. They measure about 48" x 60". They will be donated to our local Salvation Army next fall when they have the annual coat drive. We have enough scrap yarn to make at least one more blanket maybe two.

I just finished this blue Teddy Bear Cocoon. It is a paid pattern from Shady Lane. I had to watch a video to learn how to do the special stitches. It was fun but a lot of counting. I use Pound of Love yarn and a g hook.
